Customer Reviews Maui Jim Stingray

As many other reviews here described, these glasses are extremely fragile. Last year, the lens cracked at the nose piece. I had them repaired by Maui Jim and this year they cracked again at the same spot. This time, Maui Jim wants $128 to repair them. No thanks, that's almost the cost of a new pair of glasses. I'll just buy a more durable pair from a different manufacturer.

I bought this LIGHTHOUSE, loved, light weight, but had to send for repair glasswork twice already. Lances get's crack from mounting middle frame.

My "Lighthouse" model has broken TWICE at the same place in the bridge. The first time I had them fixed by Maui Jim. If Maui Jim does not repair for free, I will not buy again.

After 1 year the lenses got cracked at the nose piece on n both sides. Used them with care- no accidental fails, etc.The glasses are in perfect condition- like a new beside two cracks! I defiantly consider it as a design failure! Contacted support- send them a picture of crack. Got an answer that they will repair it under warranty. Sent the glasses to repair center, but received the answer that warranty will not cover the defect. Waste of money!!! Not recommend the glasses due to poor quality and bad service!

Just like others said about cracking near the nose piece. Mine cracked on both sides near the nose piece and even the nose piece itself also cracked.

Beautiful looking glasses, I own 5 pairs of mj's but never again will I buy timeless. My big beach lenses fractured at the nose piece and I paid to get them repaired and now my lighthouse have gone the same way. These glasses are not cheap and to have two pairs crack almost identically is poor workmanship In my opinion, come on maui jim you are better than this.

I bought my first pair of Lighthouses and was instantly in love with them. I was told in the store that they would take just about anything, and they did really well for a while. Unfortunately, where the frame is strong, the lenses take the force. Eventually a crack developed right where the bridge connects to the lens, rendering them useless. I chalked it up to chance, and went and bought a new pair. At the time, I had no idea that there was a warranty in place by MJ. My new pair also worked well for a while... until the SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED!!! Same spot, same crack, same useless pair of expensive glasses. By far the best lenses I have ever looked through... and the worst craftsmanship. The sad part is, this is the most painful review that I've written, because I want to love these glasses.

I returned the glasses because their size (like a child's sunglasses) and quality of materials were below the standards of the other pairs I own from Maui.

This is my 6 the pair of muai Jim's.3rd pair of Stingrays have a pair for work and a pair for pleasure

I have now owned 3 pairs of these sunglasses. I love them. They are VERY lite and comfortable. Unfortunately, eventually all 3 pair the lenses cracked where attached to the nose bridge. To let you know how well I take care of sunglass, I still have my first pair or Ray-Ban Aviators I bought back in 1984. Regardless of how well I like them, if they don't hold up any better than a 10.00 pair of drugstore sunglasses they are getting a bad rating.

I bought 2 pair and my boyfriend bought 4 pair--all developed cracks where the frame is atrached to the lenses. My current pair developed cracks in first couple of months.

Even with impeccable care, the coating at the top and bottom of the lenses will rub/scratch off. This makes them look horrible and distorts your view. I already sent them back once due to this problem and it just happens again, even from keeping them in the case or bag they came with. I was told that the lenses have to be plastic and must also have the coating to accommodate the prescription. As if this was not enough, one of the lenses is now coming out and will not pop back in (some type of frame distortion???). A very expensive pair of sunglasses and even more with the prescription added and they did not last long. I would personally not feel good about selling a product like this. Back to Ray Bans.

I purchased my first pair of stingray sunglasses in May 2013. They were great for three months until I dropped them (no more than 3 feet onto engineered hardwood floor) and the lense spider cracked. Luckily, insurance bought me a second pair in August 2013. Again, 4 months later, I was wearing them on my head and they dropped onto outdoor carpet floor and spidered the lense. Both times the lenses broke in the exact same place (the top of the left lense). Unlike the rat chasing the cheese, I tried my luck a third time. This time I was wearing the glasses at the lake. It was a very hot day so we decided to go jetskiing. The jet ski tipped over and into the water I went with my sunglasses. I was wearing a strap so I didn't lose the glasses. However, they cracked again not because I hit something but because the lenses were to hot when I hit the cold water. That was the last pair of Stingray's and possibly maui jims I will purchase. When you spend over $220 on a pair of sunglasses, you should expect them to be fairly durable. I have a pair of prescription burberry glasses that have never broken, cracked, etc for the past 4 years and they have been through far more than these sunglasses.

I want to like these glasses, but the lenses crack by the nose piece where they are attached to the frame. I am sending them back for repair. This will be a total of $60 in repairs on top of the $170 for the glasses. Bought the MJ Lighthouse and they are having the same issue. Very DISAPPOINTED.
